| 5. COMMITTEE REPORTS: A. Membership Committee: Mike Mosher was absent. A report sent in shows we have 59 members, one new. B. Activities Committee: No club ride this weekend due to only passable snow with no grooming. Club Trip to Millinocket: Bob Hansen reported that the trail system was good in places but very rough in places. Roads were good, off road was not good. There was not enough snow to fill the holes and some gravel was showing ~ not much snow in the woods. As for the Club Trip, each member is on their own deciding if they will still attend. The consensus was that more snow is needed for most to go up. We will be watching the weather. Be sure to call the Heritage Inn at (207) 723-9777 when you are ready to make your decision. C. Safety Committee: No Report. D. Trailmaster(s): PART I: Update on the trails ~ **There is a big hole (size of house) in the Alfred Trail system when leaving the Sanford Trail system. (Use extreme caution.) **The bridge is in on Andy’s trail (all is passable) **Traxter is ready for snow now that the tracks have been put on it. **The new trail at the airport is bumpy but passable. **Lots of signing has been done this week thanks to Don and Dave. **There is a good base now and everything is frozen on the trails. **Libby Pit is open. **Jim will be updating the website with Trail Information **We are not yet grooming. **Bridge on the Power line (for laying the poles for new bridges) will ask K.
